Dear All
Thank you very much for your all your efforts for the RP2 reporting. I am attaching the draft Technical Report sent to our PO and Davinia Hernandez-Leo, the EC expert reviewer, this afternoon so they can prepare for the Final Review .
Note: We have asked for an extension of the draft financial reporting part (Section 7.2) as some partners have unfortunately not been able to provide this information yet.
Marcelo and I would like to thank you all for your contributions to the reporting and all your hard work during 2025.
It has been a pleasure working with you all, and we both look forward to seeing most of you in Brussels in January for the Final Review. For now, we wish you all a relaxing and well deserved holiday break.
Happy Christmas and all very best for 2026.
Shamim and Marcelo

For info: The ppt that Chronis was referring to in our project meeting this morning.
On 2022-10-06, 09:38, "Chronis Kynigos" <kynigos(a)eds.uoa.gr <mailto:kynigos@eds.uoa.gr>> wrote:
Dear all,
here's a ppt I drafted based on a rigorous review done by our
consultant, Res. Dir. A. Verevi concerning the critical reflections of
employing DT in schools so far (i.e. without digital technologies)
if u agree we could discuss it as part (a slot) of the workshop or even
in a special meeting or both
in it you will find links to videos concerning and showcasing DT in
schools (which can be used in the workshop addressing teachers), the
list of references from which the review was drawn and a last slide with
some bullets pointing to ways in which we can use this info to show why
the extendt2 'solution' can address the criticisms and go far beyond the
state of the art for DT in schools
there's 3 layers, the first slide (n.2) is the theme titles, then
another layer (nos. 3-6) with one page for each theme and then
analytical slides with the points in each theme
of course, the extendt2 'solution' is something to be built and refined
by all so consider this as a clunky start if u like
we can undertake to write up an academic version of this review and
include it in a respective deliverable but this will take some time as u
can imagine
so - thanks to Alkistis
best regards
c
btw - Alkisti's expertise is educational sociology
ps - maybe we should do the same for digital media in education, i.e. a
critical review and show how the extendt2 solution addresses some of
those problems? just a thought. this would mean that extendt2 addresses
the problems of each of the DTs individually by means of bringing them
together in a unique form of integration to form dt2
Dear all,
We had a meeting on Friday about our contributions to MIS4TEL. We propose to prepare and submit the below papers:
1. Paper 1 (main conference): Report on findings from Year 1 school implementations.
2. Paper 2 (workshop paper): Present and explain the rationale of creating the Extendt2 versions of tools as well as the production of the Exten(dt)2 digital design thinking model
3. Paper 3 (main conference): Report on the process of co-designing the LA dashboard with teachers
Next steps:
Paper 1: Thea/Sagun will prepare a first outline. @Carina Girvan<mailto:girvanc@tcd.ie> would you have capacity to lead on this given that data is likely to come from your deliverable?
Paper 2: @Marianthi Grizioti<mailto:mgriziot@eds.uoa.gr> would you like to lead on this with other members of the Greek team?
Paper 3: Filothei will be leading on this paper – an outline will be produced and shared.
Action: if you are interested in co-authoring any of the above papers pls reply to this email by 1st Feb indicating which paper/s you would like to support and how?
Best wishes,
Thea
